About this episode
This isn’t a polished episode. It’s not a masterclass or a list of tips. It’s just me, saying it out loud.
On May 22, 2025, I watched my dad take his final breath.
And nothing has been the same since.
In this episode, I talk about what it’s like to witness death—and how it cracked me open in ways I never expected. The things I used to obsess over? The overthinking, the self-doubt, the constant need to get it “right”? I don’t have the capacity for that anymore. I’m not the same person I was before he died.
If you’ve ever lost someone… if you’re navigating grief… or if you just feel like life has shifted you into a new version of yourself—this one’s for you.
Unfiltered. Unscripted. From my heart to yours.
